The goal means the 34-year-old has now scored on his maiden appearances in the Champions League, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and the English top flight.
United only found out on Wednesday that their £89million world record signing Pogba would be carrying a one-game ban over from the Coppa Italia final with Juventus.
However, Mourinho denied claims that Mata was unhappy with the decision in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Bournemouth game.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has arrived at Manchester United, with serious fan fare, and the global superstar will now usurp Rashford’s position.
But seconds later the Swede added to his debut goal in preseason and his goal in the Community Shield win over Leicester with another on his Premier League bow. I got help from many players. “We weren’t surprised and then we started playing”, he said.
“In August it can be frustrating for players not in the team, because it’s one game a week”.
“It’s a real marathon and then there’s space for everyone”.
“This week was really good for us, we worked really well and hard and we prepared the game well”.
It plays in Juan Mata, who advances on goal and has a shot saved by Artur Boruc3.
“I thought it was an even game until the first goal, that was the key moment”, he said.
“I’ve not had to prove anything to anyone”. “You never know. It could be more than two, it could be more than three, let’s see how long I feel like I can perform”. I believe in my ability. Mourinho ran away in glee, knowing that his first win had been secured.
“I saw them always as a winning team with an attacking philosophy, yes, but a winning team and the winning team needs to score more goals than they concede”.

“It was a hard game”. United’s second came through Antonio Valencia’s persistence and pace down the right-hand side, while the third was created out of nothing; a burst of pace from Martial, collected by Ibrahimovic and rifled in from distance by the Swedish striker.
